Abstract:
This paper takes stock of current understandings of, and responses to, commercial pressures on land by organisations within and beyond International Land Coalition (ILC) membership. It outlines key current initiatives to engage with the phenomenon; comments on recent trends in land transactions; discusses ten myths that are commonly associated with ‘land grabbing’; outlines key emerging concerns that responses to the phenomenon should address; and puts forward some key considerations and questions for building a coordinated response.
